B2G Desktop, on Mac.

Many transition on transform:scale are very slow (almost no frames between the beginning and the end of the transition).

And I'm getting this assertion:

> ###!!! ASSERTION: overwriting animated transform!: '!aLayer->AsLayerComposite()->GetShadowTransformSetByAnimation()', file /Users/paul/mozilla/gecko-projects/gfx/layers/composite/AsyncCompositionManager.cpp, line 961

(Not sure how relevant this is)

It's very smooth with APZC.

Simple transition as:

  .tab-thumbnail {
    background: white;
    background-size: cover;
    border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.07);
    border-radius: 4px;
    height: 62.5px;
    margin: 16px 0 0;
    transform: scale(0.8);
    transition: transform 150ms ease;
    width: 100px;
    will-change: transform;
  }

  .tab.selected .tab-thumbnail {
    transform: scale(1);
  }

Transitions happen in the main process.
Botond, any ideas?

That code (TransformScrollableLayer) probably shouldn't even be running on OS X with APZ disabled. ... or any platform other than Fennec. This isn't a recent regression, is it?

I use B2G on Desktop. Maybe there's a preference we set we should not.

I don't think so. It was here 5 weeks ago.

I have no idea why, but if the mouse moves at the same time the transitions are triggered, it's very smooth.

By my reading of the code, TransformScrollableLayer runs on all non-APZ OMTC platforms, and always has (in recent memory):

  - CompositorParent::CompositeToTarget() calls AsyncCompositionManager::TransformShadowTree()
    unconditionally.

  - TransformShadowTree() calls ApplyAsyncContentTransformToTree(), which does nothing and
    returns false on non-APZ platforms, in which case we collect all the scrollable layers
    (or, on Fennec, all the "root scrollable layers") and call TransformScrollableLayer()
    on each.

It's true that TransformScrollableLayer() does some things that are no-ops on non-Fennec platforms (SetFirstPaintViewport(), SetPageRect(), SyncViewportInfo()), but I don't think the entire function is necessarily a no-op on non-Fennec platforms. For example, the AlignFixedAndStickLayers() call at the bottom might actually do something if there is a shadow-transform set by an animation.
I think the transition being slow is consistent with the transform set for purposes of the transition being overwritten by the async transform (which is empty on non-APZ non-Fennec platforms).

We had this problem on APZ platforms, and solved it in bug 1091296 by applying the async transform on top of any existing shadow transform. I suggest we give the same thing a try for non-APZ platforms too.
